Eastside Jazz LC

Overview

Eastside Jazz LCNew for 2015, the Eastside Jazz LC is a sleekly contoured archtop guitar that bridges the gap between our popular Eastside LC and CL Jazz models. With a fully hollow 15" laminate body and a Charlie Christian-style pickup by Jason Lollar, the Eastside LC brings highly refined and balanced jazz tone to the table in a comfortable and ergonomic size.

Laminate Construction

Through extensive R&D and critical listening, each Collings laminate electric guitar has been constructed with various woods, grain orientations and densities to have exceptional response and tonality custom suited to each LC model we offer.

Electronics

Built for a big deep tone with round top end and long sustain, the humbucker route single blade Charlie Christian pickup is exceptional for jazz and versatile for many other styles.

Playability

A combination of exacting PLEK machine leveling and hand fret dressing ensures consistently excellent playability and a silky fret feel.

Finish

By meticulously hand-sanding between coats, our nitrocellulose lacquer finishes measure between .005” and .007” in final thickness, maximizing acoustic response while providing excellent protection and aesthetics.

Handmade Ebony Hardware

We hand make each our ebony compensated bridges, tailpieces, and pickguards to perfectly match the instrument.

Appointments

With a fully bound body, mother of pearl dot inlays, and top hat knobs, appointments for an LC electric are available in a variety of colors and materials to match your chosen finish.

Full Body Finishes

Being constructed of all laminate maple, each LC guitar can be finished with a variety of colors and full body sunbursts
